This is what I did this week !
It is the ICM 1/35th T28 kit, and it's realy a straightforward and easy build !
The kit is built OOB and it only needs a little putty.
I intend to paint it as a tank used during the winter war against finland.




Please tell me what you think about it !

thank you tankcarl !

There's a big sinkhole right under the light, in the light guard... it would have been quite hard to fix so I prefered to leave it down.
There was no warpage on parts.

the scheme : a very weathered whitewash (late winter)... showing the green in many places !

That's a nice one!!
You did a good job on this one. Nice built. You are saying OOTB, but how about those nice tracks? Are they in the kit?
It looks like ICM made a beautiful kit. I've never built an ICM kit. How is their quality, something like Eastern Express?
Nevertheless, this one will be on my list...(:-)

Greetings,
Beaker

beaker : the tracks are link by link, and coming with the kit !
It takes a long time to clean each link as thay are each held to the sprue by 3 points !

The overal quality is much higher than an EE kit ! I've begun building an EE BA6 and the molding is far from beeing as good as with this T28.
ICM armor kits are supposed to be rather good : T28, t35, PzIID, soviet modern truck... and I just love link by link tracks !
